Equilibrium statistical mechanics of waves in inhomogeneous moving media
Alexandre Tlili, Basile Gallet
We adapt the microcanonical framework of equilibrium statistical mechanics to predict the statistics of short waves in inhomogeneous moving media. For steady inhomogeneities and ba…

Statistics of near-inertial waves over a background flow via quantum and statistical mechanics
Alexandre Tlili, Basile Gallet
We revisit the interaction of an initially uniform near-inertial wave (NIW) field with a steady background flow, with the goal of predicting the subsequent organization of the wave…

Quantitatively mapping the Eady model onto a two-layer quasi-geostrophic model
Julie Meunier, Basile Gallet
The two-layer quasigeostrophic model (2LQG) and the Eady model are two idealized systems illustrating the baroclinic instability of atmospheric jets and ocean currents. The two set…
